I'm a slut for Dark Messiah and any game with a great boot mechanic. Great idea for a game!

Developer

😂😂 thanks man!

I really think this needs balancing, as it is too hard without camping strategies. Most of my kicks deals 0 damage to the enemies, and feels kind of frustrating. But I do love that it is procedural, and feels unique every playthrough. Well done on the game!

Thank you!!!

Love this game! Quite tricky to land those kicks, though. You should consider giving players health whenever you kill an enemy.

Thanks for the feedback Outrun! Glad you enjoyed it :)

It’s so refreshing to see such a creative take on the jam theme. You absolutely nailed it!

Developer

Simply so fun and stunning! The procedural generation of more carts and enemies works really well, a lot of work has been put into this project and it shows! I felt like the game was a tad too hard though, as i kept dying really quickly but im also really bad at these types of games so might just be me xD

Thank you bugsnuggle! I’m so glad you had fun playing!


A lot of people have commented on the difficulty haha! On one hand, it’s designed that way, so that you can get further each life, but on the other hand, there still needs to be a balance! I’ll take this into consideration if I continue to work on it :)

Best game in the jam I hope you win I was expecting to play for a bit and give a nice little rating but OH MY this game had me playing for a while I love the random gen mixed with permanent upgrades and I hope you expand on this and one recommendation add some screen shake if you update the game because that would help know if I hit them.

Developer

Bro you are too kind! Thank you so much my man! I actually had a few ideas that I had to cut so maybe I will add some more to this :)

WOW! I had a blast with this game! Such a cool idea, definitely feels like it has the potential to grow into a full game! If only it wasn’t so hard, haha. Maybe some health pickups here and there and tweaking enemy attacks so they don’t all swarm at once would help. I only managed to beat 11 wagons—those red guys, man... I hate those bastards, ahaha

Developer

Thank you so much! You almost finished! 15 wagons is the end haha!


im glad you enjoyed it! Thank you for the feedback, this is my first game, so I spent much more time building it than tweaking it lol!
